Keynote speech on the Social Market Economy 2022: Globalization and digitalization in focus

Gemäß einem Bericht von www.politik-kommunikation.de, fand zum Jahresauftakt ein Festakt statt, der zwei geplante Veranstaltungen zusammenfasste: die Preisverleihung „Impulsrede zur Sozialen Marktwirtschaft 2022“ und eine Diskussionsrunde zum Thema „Wasserstoff – das Öl des 21. Jahrhunderts?“. Der Präsident des Wirtschaftspolitischen Clubs Deutschland (WPCD), Ansgar Tietmeyer, betonte dabei, dass die Soziale Marktwirtschaft trotz Globalisierung und Digitalisierung nicht erodieren dürfe.

In the ceremonial speech at the award ceremony, Veronika Grimm from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, a member of the Federal Government's Council of Experts, gave a lecture on the topic of “Competitiveness in times of geopolitical changes”. The laudatory speech was given by Franziska Brantner, Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. This was followed by a panel discussion with Veronika Grimm, Franziska Brantner, the Australian ambassador Philip Green and Luc Poyer, chairman of the hydrogen company McPhy. The conversation was moderated by Daniel Goffart, chief reporter at WirtschaftsWoche.

In the economic policy dialogue, the economic policy spokesmen of the SPD and CDU, Bernd Westphal and Julia Klöckner, under the direction of Andreas Freytag from the University of Jena, discussed the “Economic and Climate Policy Perspective 2030 – Awakening or Sclerosis”.

Impact on the financial market

The event organized by the German Economic Policy Club brings together important expert voices from the fields of economics and politics to discuss the future of the social market economy and current challenges such as geopolitical changes. These discussions can have an impact on the financial market, as political decisions and economic developments often influence the financial industry. In particular, topics such as competitiveness and new energy sources such as hydrogen can offer investors and financial experts new opportunities and risks.
